Flyers face tough consequences for rowdy and disruptive behaviour, such as being denied boarding, having a plane diverted and the associated costs which include heavy fines, up to two years in prison, an airline ban and a diversion fee up to £80,000 for the most serious in-flight incidents.

Launching the campaign, Francois Bourienne, chair of the UK Travel Retail Forum said: “It is an offence to be drunk on a plane. Not least to other passengers.

“The One Too Many campaign is to remind people of the consequences of irresponsible drinking at any stage of their journey and to highlight the fact that, while serious disruptive behaviour remains rare, it can be costly and cause delays.

“The UKTRF, IATA, AOA and Airlines UK are committed to tackling the issue of disruptive passengers and to working together to ensure that passengers are aware that this behaviour will not be tolerated.

“The campaign complements existing individual airport initiatives being used by airlines, airports, bar and pub operators and retailers - bringing it all under the one banner for the first time as we enter the busy holiday season.”

Aviation Minister, Baroness Sugg, added: “Disruptive passengers have the potential to ruin other people’s flights, and this campaign is an important new step to ensure all passengers are aware of the consequences they face if they behave disruptively after drinking before or on board a flight.

“I am pleased to see the industry come together to ensure the experiences at our airports and on flights remain positive for everyone.”
